Arsenal, which leads Manchester City by six points and Liverpool by seven, hopes to capitalize on the matches of its closest rivals to extend its lead at the top of the table when it travels to face Sunderland on Saturday. Sunderland, recently promoted to the Premier League, has been the season's biggest surprise and is currently in fourth place, level on points with Liverpool and ahead of Bournemouth on goal difference. Meanwhile, Manchester City will host Liverpool on Sunday in the 11th round. This match marks another chapter in their fierce and dominant rivalry in the English Premier League that has lasted for nearly a decade. This time, however, both clubs will be trying to close the gap on the league leader, Arsenal.
